On September 6th and 7th, we had a couple of the best sailing days of the season. On Saturday, we thought we'd try to get to Bronte, but the wind started to die out, and as we were deciding whether we should stop at Mimico Cruising Club or Etobicoke Yacht Club, the wind shifted, and we decided to enjoy a fast sail home. The wind was so brisk that we had to put a reef in the main and roll up part of the headsail, and were still making 7 knots, which is really fast for our boat.
On Sunday we went out again, and enjoyed another 5 hours on the water with beautiful sunshine and a good breeze. It was great to close out the season with such a great time on the water, because we didn't really get much sailing time this year. We did get to visit one more yacht club, though. Andrew and his friend Chris sailed in to Lakeshore Yacht Club this past weekend, and since we had a car, we dropped by to visit. We'll definitely have to visit there next season. As I write this, the sails have been taken down, the mast has been taken down, and the cradle is ready for haul out. Just in time, too, because curling season starts in less than a week!
